Chapter 202 – Build a family.
Even after a few hours, I couldn't get the conversation I had with Lili out of my head. Pregnant… Am I pregnant? No, that doesn't make any sense. I'm not pregnant. It's impossible for
to get pregnant.
"But is there another reason for
feeling this way? The symptoms… And Luan put his white stuff inside
so many tis."
But even if all the signs point to it, a god isn't capable of getting pregnant.
"But if that's not it, then what's happening to ?"
I got out of bed and went downstairs. I grabbed a glass of cold water and then sat at the table. I kept taking small sips while staring at the wall.
My head was a ss.
My body felt a little cold.
"Is this nervousness? But if I really am pregnant, shouldn't that be a reason for
to be happy? I love Luan, so I should be happy…"
But this is so unbelievable that I can't calm down. Should I talk to soone?
Should I talk to Loki? Hephaestus? Hers?
But if I tell them I'm pregnant, how will they react?
"And Luan… What would he think if I told him I am pregnant? Would he believe ?"
I feel like I'm accepting this too easily. Lili could be wrong…
I placed my hand on my stomach and felt a small bump. My belly is growing…
"Shit…"
I put the glass down on the table and then rested my forehead on it as well. I closed my eyes, and a smile curled my lips. Suddenly, an indescribable happiness filled .
The worry I had been feeling disappeared.
"Am I really carrying a child inside ?" Tears welled up in my eyes. I started crying without aning to. I just felt like I needed to cry, my body suddenly going numb.
What the hell is happening to ?
I'm accepting this madness so easily, and now I'm feeling so happy.
"Does this have sothing to do with pregnancy? They say pregnant won tend to have strange emotions…"
AAAAAAHHHH!! I scread internally.
Right after that, I started laughing hysterically, burying my face in the table.
As I acted like a complete lunatic, I heard soone call my na.
"Hestia, are you okay? Why are you laughing?"
It was Luan.
The mont I saw him, I felt sothing moving inside my belly. My body went numb again, and an overwhelming happiness took over . I stood up and ran toward him.
"Whoa!" Luan caught
in his arms, and I hugged him tightly.
"Luan!" I shouted.
"What? What happened?"
"I think I'm pregnant!" I scread loudly, as if I wanted the whole world to hear, even though it was just the two of us in the house. I wanted everyone to know. That I was going to have a child with the man I love.
I started crying uncontrollably on Luan's shoulder as my mind already drifted to the future.
Luan placed his hand on my back and stroked it gently. He kissed my head and held
as if I were the most important person in his life.
We stayed like that for long minutes, in silence.
I kept crying. Even when I tried to hold back, I couldn't.
And what if it's all a mistake? What if I'm not actually pregnant?
I don't care about that. I want to enjoy this feeling.

*Luan's POV*
When I heard Hestia's words and saw her crying, I hugged her tightly, holding her in my arms.
So, she figured it out. I thought it would take a little longer, considering goddesses usually can't get pregnant.
And I'm surprised that she accepted it so easily. I just broke one of the world's rules, and she's accepting it without hesitation.
"I already knew," I told her.
Hestia kept crying and looked into my eyes. She stared at
for a few seconds and then kissed my lips.
"I'm so happy…" she said. "I didn't want to believe it at first… But I feel like it's true. I thought it wasn't possible. I can't understand it… I just want to keep crying."
Hestia's happiness was so overwhelming that she couldn't control her tears. It was almost funny because she was laughing at the sa ti.
It's the first ti I've ever seen soone cry from happiness like this.
"..." I didn't say anything and just hugged her tightly.
"I'm really happy too. I'm sure our child will be soone incredible."
I wasn't entirely sure what to say, and that made
a little uncomfortable.
But Hestia didn't care.
"I'm sure of it. Whether it's a boy or a girl… I'm sure they'll be amazing, just like their father," Hestia said, resting her head on my chest.
"As amazing as their mother. You're far more incredible than , goddess. Much stronger, more beautiful… You're way better than ."
"Don't say that. You're the most amazing man I've ever t. Your strength, your intelligence—everything about you is incredible. eting you was the best thing that ever happened to … Even though you lied to
when we first t."
"You still rember that? Hahaha."
"I never forget anything! But I'm not mad about it. What matters is the present."
"Don't you think I'll be a terrible father? Like you said before, I only care about myself."
"I said those things without thinking…"
"But they're true. I didn't think about you when I disappeared for so long… I left you so worried. I only think about myself—that's not a lie. But I want to change that."
"Stop. Don't say those things right now. You don't need to change."
"..."
Despite Hestia's words, I know I need to change.
Once again, I was thinking with my lower half. I slept with Ishtar, and now I went after Haruhi, even though I didn't sleep with her today.
I should be focusing on building a world where I can live with my wives and raise my children without worry.
That should be my only priority.
